Despite the bad odds with a major fishing tournament the day we book our trip and the bait shop sold out of live bait, Capt Chappy put us on the fish. He is real knowledgeable and will try different tactics until he finds what the fish like that day. He knows the bays, and even how to make it back to the marina for more bait when we ran out lol. The experience was like fishing with and old friend, we caught plenty of fish. He put us on impressive reds that we should have put in the tournament. Give him a chance an you will book again, my wife and I are planning on it.

We took the 7 hour trip in the morning and Captain Chappy was a GREAT guide!! I was kinda hesitant at first going on a 7 hour trip, but Captain knew great spots to fish, offered to take us back to the marina anytime we needed, hooked my bait, cast the lines sometimes to get it in a good spot, answered all my questions, easy going conversations and even gave us some history lessons about the area! We can’t wait to plan our next trip with Captain Chappy! I highly recommend him!!

Chad delivered a great morning on the water.  He was excellent working with my son, showing him how to bait a hook and where to cast.  My boy finished the trip excited and anticipating another go.

Overall, this is best value you can find for a guided fishing trip on the Texas coast.  You really can go wrong with Capt. Chappy’s.

The only warning I’d give is that the boat is an 18-footer, so you should limit what you bring to what you’ll need.  You can discuss this with Chad, and he’ll give you the guidance you need.

Chad kept us informed before the trip as the weather was iffy. He called it right and we had a beautiful day. Fished west bay and caught some nice Red Drum and Black Drum. Chad is a very knowledgeable guide and his equipment is good. We will definitely hire him again. Thank you Cot. Chappy.

Trip started a little slow on bites, Captain chad moved us to another spot, where we caught quite a few sheepshead, mostly keepers, Just as the Day was coming to a close, I caught my first Red, and a keeper too. We had a great day.
